- Spine surgeons often mistake C2 pedicle fractures for pars interarticularis fractures, leading to a need for better understanding and treatment strategies for C2 PFs.

- Most patients were successfully treated conservatively, although surgical intervention may be necessary in cases involving more severe complications, like C2-3 anterior slip or spinal cord injury.
